christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o he_o have_v free_v we_o from_o the_o law_n now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o 2._o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n derive_v from_o clrist_n to_o we_o free_v we_o we_o may_v see_v how_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n as_o it_o be_v in_o we_o derive_v from_o christ_n free_v we_o from_o the_o law_n and_o that_o be_v only_o in_o these_o two_o way_n 1._o declarative_o 2._o operative_o 1._o declarative_o 1._o declarative_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o we_o free_v we_o from_o the_o law_n declarative_o that_o be_v as_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o we_o declare_v we_o to_o be_v free_a from_o the_o law_n and_o no_o more_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n for_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v john_n 15.14_o speak_v of_o the_o spirit_n he_o shall_v reserve_v of_o i_o and_o show_v it_o unto_o you_o and_o john_n 16.16_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n shall_v testify_v of_o i_o so_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o saint_n declare_v to_o the_o saint_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v free_o give_v to_o they_o of_o god_n and_o testify_v to_o they_o of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o he_o have_v take_v away_o the_o hand_n write_v of_o ordinance_n that_o be_v against_o we_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o we_o nail_v it_o to_o his_o cross_n and_o declare_v how_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v free_v we_o from_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o present_v we_o holy_a and_o unblameable_a and_o unreprovable_a without_o spot_n or_o wrinkle_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n it_o be_v he_o that_o declare_v to_o we_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n for_o we_o and_o in_o a_o word_n be_v become_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n for_o righteousness_n to_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v i_o say_v its_o the_o spiirit_n in_o we_o that_o declare_v these_o thing_n and_o many_o other_o unto_o we_o and_o without_o the_o spirit_n no_o man_n can_v comfortable_o and_o true_o know_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v free_o give_v to_o we_o of_o god_n but_o then_o 2._o as_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n set_v we_o free_a from_o the_o law_n declarative_o so_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n as_o it_o be_v in_o we_o set_v we_o free_a from_o the_o law_n operative_o or_o by_o way_n of_o operation_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 8.11_o tell_v we_o that_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o you_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a shall_v also_o quicken_v your_o mortal_a body_n by_o his_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o you_o now_o if_o any_o man_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v none_o of_o he_o but_o if_o he_o be_v christ_n you_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o you_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n it_o will_v not_o be_v idle_a it_o will_v not_o still_o it_o will_v quicken_v your_o mortal_a body_n yea_o it_o will_v mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n it_o will_v burn_v up_o all_o your_o corruption_n it_o will_v through_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n constrain_v you_o to_o walk_v holy_o and_o to_o deny_v all_o ungodliness_n in_o a_o word_n the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n work_v in_o the_o saint_n mighty_o and_o by_o its_o operation_n in_o we_o set_v we_o free_a from_o the_o law_n and_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n rom._n 7.6_o we_o be_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n say_v he_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v serve_v in_o the_o newness_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o in_o the_o oldness_n of_o the_o letter_n after_o a_o more_o spiritual_a and_o glorious_a manner_n than_o they_o of_o old_a can_v be_v under_o the_o law_n do_v for_o the_o law_n be_v weak_a but_o what_o the_o law_n can_v not_o do_v the_o spirit_n can_v 〈◊〉_d have_v more_o abundant_a glory_n then_o ever_o the_o law_n have_v the_o

rom._n 3.6_o now_o the_o spirit_n free_v we_o from_o the_o letter_n in_o carry_v we_o forth_o to_o worship_n god_n in_o the_o spirit_n in_o a_o word_n which_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n through_o the_o spiritual_a fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n in_o we_o it_o free_v we_o from_o the_o law_n which_o the_o apostle_n further_o make_v clear_a rom._n 8._o when_o in_o the_o second_o verse_n he_o have_v say_v we_o be_v free_v from_o the_o law_n in_o the_o four_o verse_n he_o say_v it_o be_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n may_v be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o who_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o fiesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n so_o the_o spirit_n in_o fulfil_v the_o law_n free_v we_o from_o the_o law_n and_o free_v we_o from_o the_o law_n fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o we_o and_o thus_o we_o have_v see_v how_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n have_v set_v we_o free_a from_o the_o law_n and_o now_o be_o i_o come_v to_o show_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o spirit_n free_v 〈◊〉_d from_o the_o law_n reason_n the_o necessity_n of_o our_o freedom_n from_o the_o law_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n for_o these_o reason_n necessary_a it_o be_v 1._o because_o if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o freedom_n from_o the_o law_n by_o christie_n then_o no_o flesh_n can_v be_v save_v save_v 2._o because_o else_o no_o flesh_n can_v be_v save_v for_o the_o law_n bring_v we_o under_o the_o curse_n but_o now_o god_n send_v his_o son_n and_o put_v his_o spirit_n without_o measure_n upon_o he_o that_o he_o may_v free_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n in_o what_o a_o woeful_a case_n and_o in_o what_o a_o miserable_a condition_n have_v we_o be_v in_o every_o one_o of_o we_o have_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n come_v and_o free_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n but_o now_o god_n have_v create_v christ_n jesus_n to_o be_v a_o blessing_n to_o the_o world_n to_o take_v away_o the_o old_a covenant_n and_o to_o make_v a_o new_a covenant_n else_o no_o flesh_n can_v be_v save_v and_o it_o be_v impossible_a any_o man_n shall_v have_v eternal_a life_n for_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o law_n be_v he_o that_o sin_v shall_v die_v now_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v all_o have_v sin_v and_o it_o be_v so_o that_o what_o the_o law_n say_v it_o say_v to_o they_o that_o be_v under_o it_o then_o assure_o unless_o we_o be_v free_v from_o be_v under_o it_o all_o must_v die_v so_o that_o we_o see_v a_o necessity_n of_o be_v free_v from_o the_o law_n because_o else_o no_o flesh_n can_v be_v save_v but_o then_o 2_o we_o be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n free_v from_o the_o law_n for_o this_o end_n that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n may_v be_v fulfil_v and_o wrought_v in_o we_o through_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o the_o saint_n be_v say_v to_o have_v the_o law_n of_o god_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o to_o be_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n and_o have_v the_o spirit_n they_o be_v say_v to_o grow_v up_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o to_o increase_v with_o the_o increase_n of_o god_n and_o so_o paul_n tell_v we_o he_o press_v forward_o towards_o the_o mark_n and_o the_o spirit_n be_v give_v to_o the_o saint_n that_o they_o may_v all_o come_v to_o be_v perfect_a even_o to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o stature_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a the_o saint_n have_v not_o yet_o obtain_v perfection_n to_o which_o they_o press_v while_o they_o be_v here_o as_o paul_n profess_v of_o himself_o phil._n 3.12_o yet_o the_o time_n shall_v come_v when_o in_o the_o spirit_n they_o shall_v be_v all_o present_v perfect_a and_o without_o spot_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n not_o but_o that_o we_o be_v so_o already_o as_o god_n look_v upon_o we_o all_o wash_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o flesh_n lu_v against_o the_o spirit_n now_o yet_o i_o say_v we_o shall_v never_o cause_v grow_v up_o unto_o perfection_n until_o we_o do_v attain_v unto_o perfection_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n when_o he_o who_o be_v our_o life_n shall_v appear_v 3.2_o 1_o joh._n 3.2_o then_o shall_v we_o uppear_v with_o he_o in_o glory_n and_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o as_o he_o be_v for_o than_o shall_v we_o attain_v unto_o a_o full_a perfection_n when_o that_o which_o be_v in_o part_n shall_v be_v do_v away_o be_v then_o perfect_a
to_o be_v a_o law_n in_o regard_n of_o his_o mighty_a operation_n in_o the_o soul_n it_o bring_v down_o light_a and_o truth_n and_o life_n and_o power_n into_o the_o soul_n and_o work_v exceed_v strong_o in_o the_o soul_n and_o when_o it_o come_v what_o be_v able_a to_o withstand_v the_o spirit_n what_o be_v great_a than_o the_o spirit_n what_o be_v strong_a than_o the_o spirit_n if_o the_o spirit_n come_v it_o bear_v down_o all_o opposition_n though_o the_o flesh_n lust_n against_o the_o spirit_n yet_o the_o spirit_n be_v two_o strong_a for_o the_o flesh_n so_o that_o it_o divide_v the_o very_a jont_n and_o marrow_n so_o that_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o law_n above_o the_o law_n the_o law_n be_v weak_a and_o can_v take_v place_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n but_o when_o the_o spirit_n come_v with_o its_o law_n it_o prevail_v against_o all_o and_z takes_z place_n the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o say_v our_o saviour_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v if_o the_o spirit_n quicken_v it_o have_v life_n in_o it_o and_o where_o life_n be_v it_o be_v full_a of_o activity_n for_o life_n be_v manifest_v in_o this_o in_o that_o it_o be_v full_a of_o motion_n quickness_n and_o agility_n and_o in_o beat_v off_o every_o thing_n that_o do_v offend_v it_o or_o annoy_v it_o so_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o spirit_n of_o life_n it_o have_v a_o mighty_a power_n in_o it_o although_o the_o soul_n be_v fill_v with_o sin_n and_o guilt_n and_o in_o that_o condition_n clothe_v also_o with_o ignorance_n which_o do_v so_o environ_v the_o foul_a as_o it_o can_v stir_v in_o any_o other_o way_n nor_o have_v the_o least_o motion_n of_o good_a in_o it_o yet_o when_o the_o spirit_n come_v he_o bear_v down_o all_o he_o destroy_v all_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o spirit_n of_o burn_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o when_o christ_n come_v to_o baptise_v he_o be_v say_v to_o baptise_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n so_o that_o when_o the_o spirit_n come_v nothing_o can_v stand_v before_o he_o and_o he_o bring_v both_o light_n and_o heat_n and_o motion_n in_o he_o and_o be_v most_o powerful_a in_o operation_n but_o then_o 3._o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o law_n or_o to_o have_v a_o law_n in_o it_o as_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a and_o true_a guide_n and_o as_o it_o lead_v every_o soul_n in_o a_o right_n and_o true_a way_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n shall_v lead_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o indeed_o the_o spirit_n guide_v secure_o and_o guide_v safe_o guide_v sure_o and_o guide_v pure_o for_o the_o spirit_n can_v err_v and_o he_o that_o have_v the_o spirit_n know_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o be_v guide_v to_o fulfil_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n as_o far_o as_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n for_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o bless_a guide_n and_o a_o bless_a rule_n and_o about_o the_o law_n for_o although_o the_o law_n it_o be_v true_a be_v righteous_a holy_a and_o good_a yet_o alas_o it_o can_v bring_v forth_o power_n to_o enable_v the_o creature_n to_o walk_v suitable_a to_o its_o self_n it_o be_v only_o the_o spirit_n have_v that_o power_n and_o not_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o saint_n he_o show_v they_o the_o truth_n teach_v they_o the_o truth_n and_o lead_v they_o in_o the_o truth_n and_o give_v they_o

to_o abandon_v their_o own_o part_n and_o their_o own_o endowment_n and_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o to_o see_v all_o in_o and_o to_o fetch_v all_o from_o a_o christ_n through_o the_o

spirit_n the_o saint_n be_v guide_v so_o to_o walk_v as_o to_o shine_v as_o light_n amid_o a_o crooked_a and_o perverse_a generation_n in_o a_o word_n through_o the_o spirit_n the_o saint_n be_v

which_o i_o answer_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o christ_n under_o two_o consideration_n 1._o as_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o life_n 2._o as_o he_o communicate_v the_o

what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n 2._o queree_n 2_o how_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v in_o christ_n 3._o queree_n 3_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n from_o which_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n have_v set_v we_o free_a but_o first_o if_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n do_v set_v we_o free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n than_o it_o seem_v the_o spirit_n have_v a_o law_n for_o as_o there_o be_v a_o law_n give_v by_o god_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n the_o mediator_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o there_o be_v a_o law_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o it_o seem_v be_v the_o more_o powerful_a and_o glorious_a law_n the_o law_n that_o bring_v blessedness_n and_o joy_n unto_o a_o saint_n for_o its_o this_o law_n that_o bring_v life_n whereas_o the_o other_o bring_v death_n for_o the_o spirit_n must_v bring_v life_n through_o its_o own_o law_n queree_n 1_o but_o then_o the_o queerie_n be_v how_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o law_n or_o to_o have_v law_n answ_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v the_o law_n of_o spirit_n may_v be_v consider_v in_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o in_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o spirit_n 2._o in_o the_o operation_n or_o working_n of_o the_o spirit_n 3._o in_o the_o guidance_n of_o the_o spirit_n 1._o consider_v we_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o royal_a and_o giorious_a authority_n that_o the_o spirit_n have_v now_o the_o spirit_n have_v a_o double_a authority_n 1._o as_o it_o come_v from_o god_n 2._o as_o it_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n in_o the_o first_o sense_n the_o spirit_n and_o the_o law_n be_v one_o but_o in_o the_o second_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o law_n differ_v but_o i_o say_v the_o first_o part_n or_o piece_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v this_o that_o it_o come_v forth_o from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o be_v send_v forth_o from_o the_o father_n &_o the_o son_n by_o way_n of_o embassage_n &_o so_o our_o saviour_n say_v i_o will_v send_v the_o comforter_n he_o be_v a_o messenger_n send_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o so_o have_v mighty_a authority_n hitherto_o the_o father_n work_v and_o i_o work_v but_o if_o the_o father_n work_v he_o work_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o if_o the_o son_n work_v he_o work_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n it_o be_v the_o same_o spirit_n come_v from_o they_o both_o and_o thus_o the_o spirit_n have_v authority_n and_o thus_o the_o law_n have_v also_o authority_n i_o mean_v the_o law_n give_v of_o god_n by_o moses_n for_o the_o law_n have_v all_o its_o authority_n as_o it_o come_v from_o god_n and_o as_o it_o be_v send_v forth_o by_o god_n so_o the_o law_n have_v true_a authority_n and_o in_o this_o consideration_n they_o both_o agree_v the_o spirit_n and_o the_o law_n both_o have_v authority_n as_o they_o come_v from_o god_n but_o then_o 2._o the_o spirit_n have_v another_o authority_n which_o the_o law_n simple_o consider_v have_v not_o that_o be_v this_o the_o spirit_n have_v authority_n in_o its_o self_n and_o from_o its_o self_n for_o the_o spirit_n have_v as_o great_a authority_n as_o he_o that_o send_v he_o god_n be_v the_o spirit_n &_o the_o spirit_n be_v god_n and_o the_o spirit_n come_v from_o the_o bosom_n of_o god_n be_v god_n himself_o and_o the_o spirit_n have_v equal_a authority_n with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o have_v power_n to_o work_v out_o of_o his_o own_o pleasure_n and_o out_o of_o his_o own_o will_n so_o say_v the_o scripture_n the_o wind_n blow_v where_o it_o list_v so_o be_v every_o man_n that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n the_o wind_n be_v sometime_o in_o the_o east_n sometime_o in_o the_o west_n no_o man_n command_v it_o hither_o or_o thither_o no_o man_n bid_v it_o go_v here_o or_o there_o but_o it_o go_v where_o it_o will_n it_o be_v even_o so_o with_o the_o spirit_n he_o have_v authority_n to_o lay_v hold_n of_o one_o man_n and_o not_o another_o to_o choose_v this_o man_n and_o to_o give_v life_n to_o that_o person_n and_o so_o suffer_v another_o to_o lie_v under_o death_n and_o misery_n for_o the_o spirit_n have_v that_o prerogative_n wherein_o he_o be_v not_o only_o as_o a_o messenger_n but_o be_v equal_a with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o so_o the_o royal_a authority_n of_o the_o spirit_n exceed_o surpass_v the_o law_n though_o the_o law_n have_v also_o authority_n from_o god_n but_o then_o 2._o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o law_n or_o
be_v in_o he_o a_o well_o of_o water_n spring_v up_o unto_o everlasting_a life_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o such_o a_o man_n shall_v die_v for_o this_o reason_n he_o that_o receive_v the_o life_n

what_o do_v the_o apostle_n mean_v here_o by_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n from_o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n set_v we_o free_a t_o answ_n o_o which_o i_o answer_v his_o

be_v a_o law_n and_o sin_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o law_n under_o these_o two_o signification_n 1._o as_o it_o have_v a_o mighty_a power_n in_o 〈◊〉_d or_o 2._o as_o it_o have_v a_o certain_a

and_o love_n be_v as_o strong_a as_o death_n either_o in_o good_a thing_n or_o in_o evil_a and_o so_o sin_n have_v its_o power_n but_o 2._o it_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o uncertain_a rule_n and_o

that_o we_o shall_v live_v unto_o himself_o live_v as_o by_o he_o and_o through_o he_o so_o to_o he_o as_o our_o first_o husband_n be_v dead_a we_o be_v no_o long_o to_o live_v to_o he_o but_o be_v

so_o now_o here_o we_o see_v clear_o christ_n have_v adjudge_v all_o our_o sin_n to_o death_n upon_o the_o cross_n in_o his_o own_o body_n have_v also_o by_o the_o same_o way_n free_v we_o from_o

be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n for_o righteousness_n righteousness_n can_v not_o be_v by_o the_o law_n therefore_o the_o lord_n jesus_n become_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n to_o bring_v righteousness_n to_o we_o no_o man_n can_v perform_v the_o law_n or_o walk_v equivolent_a to_o it_o and_o therefore_o christ_n must_v be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n to_o bring_v in_o everlasting_a

their_o number_n and_o name_n in_o it_o so_o the_o law_n and_o the_o beauty_n of_o it_o be_v as_o several_a small_a sum_n gather_v up_o into_o christ_n they_o looze_z their_o name_n in_o he_o and_o

so_o the_o law_n be_v a_o beam_n of_o god_n and_o shadow_n out_o something_a of_o christ_n and_o of_o god_n but_o when_o christ_n come_v and_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o it_o be_v sum_v up_o in_o he_o and_o end_n in_o he_o and_o in_o he_o it_o apper_n glorious_o so_o christ_n free_v we_o from_o the_o law_n as_o he_o sum_v up_o the_o law_n whole_o in_o himself_o if_o there_o be_v any_o beauty_n in_o the_o law_n it_o be_v beautiful_a as_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n the_o truth_n be_v christ_n be_v the_o substance_n of_o it_o all_o and_o so_o a_o believer_n see_v all_o the_o beauty_n

no_o so_o it_o be_v their_o delight_n so_o it_o be_v sweet_a unto_o they_o although_o they_o seek_v not_o righteousness_n by_o it_o but_o by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n who_o have_v fulfil_v it_o for_o
